Featuring leading voices in the field from across Canada and Europe, this edited collection offers empirical analyses of the historical, social, cultural, and legislative determinants of inclusive education in Canadian schools.

Covering four thematic areas including the structure, culture, and practices of inclusive education, the volume offers comparative insights from a European perspective, engaging critically with widely held views of Canada as a world leader in inclusive education. Providing rich comparisons with educational systems in Germany, Spain, and Finland, chapters explore in-depth the assessment structures and curricula specific to Canada, as well as educational policy, and explore attitudes and practices in relation to diverse student populations, including refugee and indigenous peoples, and students with special educational needs.

This volume will benefit researchers, academics, and educators with an interest in multicultural education, international and comparative education, as well as educational policy more specifically. Those involved with inclusion and special educational needs will also benefit from this volume.

Der Band analysiert und reflektiert die Komplexität der Steuerung inklusiver Bestrebungen im schulischen Kontext. In den Beiträgen wird aus verschiedenen Akteursperspektiven der Frage nachgegangen, wie die UN-BRK auf den unterschiedlichen Ebenen des Schulsystems umgesetzt wird und ob Inklusion grundsätzlich gesteuert werden kann. Dafür kommen Wissenschaftler*innen, Bildungspolitiker*innen, Personen aus der Bildungsverwaltung, Schulpraktiker*innen und Eltern zu Wort.

Der Band widmet sich der Frage, wie eine inklusive und sozialraumorientierte Schule gerade dort gelingen kann, wo nicht die optimalen Bedingungen herrschen – in herausfordernder Lage. Besonders Schulen in schwierigen sozialen Kontexten stehen vor der Herausforderung trotz der sie umgebenden Faktoren günstige Lernbedingungen für ihre Schüler*innen zu schaffen. Im Kontext des Zusammenspiels der drei zentralen Eckpfeiler des Bandes – Inklusion, Sozialraum und herausfordernde Lage – wird das Gelingen von Bildungsprozessen aus theoretischer, empirischer und handlungsleitender Perspektive diskutiert.
